Comparing to last year obviously Nadal went from #3 to #6 (still impressive, provided he played virtually half-season). Ferrer is ahead of Murray, while in 2011 it was the other way around.
Therefore Djokovic, Federer and Murray kept their places as #1,2 and 4 respectively.
Fish, Soderling, Florian Mayer, Monfils, Troicki left top 20. Instead Raonic, Monaco, Seppi, Nishikori and Wawrinka entered top 20.
Isner moved from #17 to #11. DelPo moved from #12 to #5.

Top 5 are in the same order as last year. Janovicz is here mainly on the strength of Paris tournament.
Also entered the top 20 are: Raonic, Nishikori and Monaco.
Soderling, Monfils, Roddick and F.Mayer are out of top 20.

Nadal moved from #4 to #1, but this is a bit shallow, because he played 11 tournaments against 18 last year and suffered in all cumulative categories.
Soderling, Tipsarevic, Nalbandian, Ferrero, Robredo and Mayer left top 20.
Janowicz, Haas, Monaco, Raonic, Berankis and Simon entered.
Half of the new entrants are returning after lengthy breaks associated with injuries (Haas, Monaco, Simon)

Ferrer moved from #3 to #1, Federer moved from #6 to #2.
Nadal, Mayer, K. Anderson, Fish, Troicki, F. Lopez, Stepanek and Monfils moved out of top 20;
Isner, Raonic, Seppi, Monaco, Querrey, Gasquet, Kohlschreiber moved in.

Top 5 are the same as last year, only Murray switched with Nadal
Ferrero, Roddick, Soderling, Fognini, Dolgopolov, Simon, Ljubicic moved out of top 20;
Almagro, Cilic, Kohlschreiber, Tipsarevic, Nishikori, Gil, Benneteau, Raonic entered.
Del Potro moved from #20 to #6.

Djokovic returned back to earth after his previous season. Nadal took over first spot, but mostly due to skipping second half of the year, when he usually less successful.
Ferrer moved from #6 to #3, Del Potro from #8 to #5. But the biggest mover here is Juan Monaco, who won 4 tournaments this year and occupies #6 on this list, while last year he was absent due to injuries.

The biggest story is that Djokovic kept #1. Only 4 players went out of top 20 so there was definitely no era watershed between 2011 and 2012.
Soderling, Fish, Monfils and Dolgopolov left top 20.
Monaco, Raonic, Nishikori and Kohlschreiber entered. But only Raonic is a real new name here. Rest is returning from injuries. Lest see what the next year brings. Maybe itll be the year of Janowicz
